The word 'Ultach' means 'person
from Ulster'
but in our case it is also an acronym for 'Ulster Language, Traditions
and Cultural Heritage', therefore the organisation's title appears in
capital letters.

ULTACH is an independent
charitable trust based in Belfast.
Our principal aim is to promote the Irish language throughout the entire
community of Northern Ireland.
A core objective is to encourage cross-community involvement in the
language, and the membership of the Board of Trustees reflects both
major religious traditions.

The Trust is currently core-funded by Foras na
Gaeilge, the Irish language agency of the Cross-Border Language Body.

The Trust tends to concentrate its resources on
in-house projects and partnerships with other organisations rather than
grants. The following list summarises the Trust’s current key areas of
